My parents struggled to wrap their heads around the money my Nana left them when she passed, so I think your feelings are very normal. Sounds like you did some amazing things with the money.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681111721765764568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383015803594888116.post-20909354667404294352013-08-01T07:28:03.958-04:002013-08-01T07:28:03.958-04:00You have a lot to wrap your brain around both good...You have a lot to wrap your brain around both good and bad and I know that is hard.

My om needs to be cared for but refuses, in fact she just left, so sad. I am happy and sad for you at the same time. Your story has given me such strength. You have been through so much and I admire you.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681111721765764568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383015803594888116.post-31098083394032276382013-07-31T12:01:49.604-04:002013-07-31T12:01:49.604-04:00I know how you feel.

Paying off my house was something she specifically asked me to do with her some of money (no argument from me... I hated having a mortgage on my primary home). There is a special comfort in knowing your HOME is now safe, regardless of your financial situation. Like you, I feel blessed. It is sad to lose people we care so much about, but I think they likely look down and smile knowing we are able to get some happiness from their gift to us, too. We owe it to them to respect what they worked hard to earn throughout their lives and try to consider THEM when making decisions about their assets and make decisions that they would approve of. And it sounds like you are doing just that! :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681111721765764568noreply@blogger.com
